The Internet brings remarkable benefits to society. Unfortunately, some people use it for harm and their own gain at the expense of others. We believe in the power of the web and information, and we work every day to detect potential abuse of our services and ward off attacks.
Official Google Blog: Using data to protect people from malware.
My thoughts on it all
I’m glad there helping rid the web of malicious things!
As a web developer one other thing I would love to see Google tackle is spam from gmail accounts I used to have loads of spammers signing up with hotmail, yahoo, msn… These I no longer have trouble with the mail email I have trouble with is gmail I manage many sites & I can say 8 times out of 10 I get spammers joining with a gmail account.
I myself use gmail I also use Google apps to host my domains emails I really love gmails features & wish they would find away to crack down on that or have a spam report area for gmail accounts.
If I wasn’t a user of gmail & if I didn’t like the social feature of Google and gmail I would be half tempted to block it completely I have seen a few site do this and I find that kinda sad.
Whats your thoughts on gmail spammers & Google detecting malware on your system? I have a few I’ll try to find the time to put them into words maybe a pro’s & con’s of it all
